...It happened that at this critical moment, Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes from the thick, somewhat stinging haystack.

The light first caught her eyes, but before she could react to the situation, she took a sharp breath and jumped up from the haystack. The hay suddenly scattered on the ground, startling Cinderella who was digging out the ashes. Jump.

"What's wrong?" Cinderella's face and hands were all black, and her tone was very gentle: "Have you had a nightmare?"

"I...ah, yes, that's right." Lin Sanjiu blinked hard, feeling as if her mind was still left in that rainy night hut where the barking of dogs was deafening - she paused for a few seconds and looked at outside the window.

It was still a dark night outside, half of the white moon hung faintly in the clouds, and there was no sign of rain——

"What time is it now?" Lin Sanjiu calmed her breathing and looked at Cinderella with some confusion. "Why are you working at this time?"

Cinderella sighed. "I always get up and work at this time...it will be dawn in a while, and the kitchen will be busy making breakfast."

After that, she didn't know what she thought of, and slowly stopped her hand, staring blankly at the stove in front of her, lost in thought.

Lin Sanjiu could guess what she was thinking.

Judging from the few words heard here, the dance was already last month. Logically speaking, Cinderella should have lost one of her shoes long ago, but almost a month has passed, and no prince has come to see her...

For Cinderella, all the jeweled dresses, bright lights, princes and balls have all become a distant and unreal dream. After the dream is over, she will still have to squat in the dirty kitchen with her hands full of plaster. Work on the ground.

The story of Cinderella must be about to reach a critical moment like Little Red Riding Hood, right?

Lin Sanjiu thought as she excused herself to wash up and went outside to sort out her cards.

The things she gave to Cinderella's stepmother were just some scented candles and flashlights - although the other party accepted them without thinking, she was still a little disappointed because it was not gem jewelry, so she only arranged one for her. haystack.

After sorting out the cards, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but hold her chin and think back to the other two people in the hut on a rainy night.

Neither Little Red Riding Hood nor Emma looked like a werewolf...and there was nothing suspicious about their behavior. If you think about it carefully, what does a werewolf look like?

While Lin Sanjiu was immersed in her thoughts, the sky gradually brightened - Cinderella hurriedly prepared meals and sent them to her stepmother and sisters. She only cooked two bowls of potatoes and The bean mixture was given to Lin Sanjiu.

Although the taste is not good, as long as he can have a bite of hot rice, Lin Sanjiu is extremely happy——

Seeing her devouring the food, Cinderella couldn't help but chuckle: "You must have suffered a lot on the road, right?"

This sentence made Lin Sanjiu startled.

If the doomsday world is her journey, she really doesn't know where the end is.

Normally, Lin Sanjiu would try to restrain herself from thinking about the vast and endless apocalyptic world, and also try not to think about her dead and lost friends and companions - but this emotion is like the sand under the water. At this time, he was stirred up by Cinderella's gentle words.

"Ah, yes, it's rare to have food." She came back to her senses and responded with a smile.

Cinderella looked at Lin Sanjiu's expression carefully, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden noise not far away - the voice of a male servant seemed particularly loud in the noise. : "Madam, madam! Where are you? Come out quickly to greet the palace manager!"

coming--!

Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, and she put down her rice bowl, picked up Cinderella, who was still confused, and walked into the house through the back door.

The Cinderella family's large, manor-like house now lost all of its former reserved demeanor.

The stepmother rushed out carrying her skirt. Her hair had obviously been smoothed just now and was still shiny. Behind her were Cinderella's two sisters. The three of them were obviously dressed up with a lot of attention, and their hands were hung with strings of sparkling gems. "Why are the palace stewards here?" the stepmother asked after taking a deep breath. .

The palace steward is a middle-aged man with silver-grey hair, his face is cold and serious, and people can't help but put on the same expression as him.

"I was ordered by the prince to search the country for a girl who can wear this shoe." He explained in a businesslike tone, and then waved his hand, and someone behind him showed a glass slipper in a box. "Those who can wear this shoe will receive the supreme honor of being by the prince's side from now on."

As soon as the crystal shoe was revealed, she heard Cinderella next to her exclaim in low voice. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the manager and the shoe, but no one paid attention to her. .

What happened next was almost like a fairy tale. Although the stepmother's two daughters did not cut their feet to fit shoes like in the fairy tale, they still spent a lot of effort - wrapping their feet in circles with strips of cloth, and their toes were rolled under the soles of their feet. They looked like Europeans. Version of bound feet.

But their faces were blue from the pain, and they still couldn't squeeze their feet into the shoes.

The glass slipper didn't have any room to expand and contract, so it could only adapt to the shape of its owner's foot. The manager even wanted Lin Sanjiu to try it, but he gave up immediately after seeing her stretch out a foot to cover Tian Mulan. Got this idea.

Finally, when Cinderella slid her small and thin bare feet into the glass slippers with a little trepidation, Lin Sanjiu was almost half deafened by the exclamations and shouts of the people around her.

"Great," the steward's stern face showed no hint of happiness at all. "We finally found you. I believe the prince will be very comforted."

Cinderella's face was bright red, and several maids from the palace pulled her over. After cleaning and dressing her up, she finally revealed some of the beauty she showed at the ball.

It's a wonderful feeling to be in a fairy tale and experience everything with the characters in it - because the hall on the first floor was already packed, and Lin Sanjiu was standing on the second floor By the window, he watched Cinderella being welcomed out of the house by the steward and respectfully sent to a particularly impressive carriage.

In Lin Sanjiu's impression, this part of the prince appeared - it was he who ordered the punishment of his stepmother and two daughters. The person sitting in this carriage is probably the prince, right?

The scene in front of her seemed to confirm her guess.

The steward said something to the people in the carriage, and then asked Cinderella to walk over.

Cinderella glanced into the carriage, turned around and said something to the steward, and waved her hand hurriedly...

……Huh? Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes.

Cinderella's expression didn't seem right.

Her face turned a little pale and she kept shaking her head desperately - she was too far away and couldn't hear what she said clearly - but before she could say a few words, she was about to turn around and leave when two tall soldiers suddenly came over. He picked up Cinderella and forced her into the carriage.

Cinderella's feet were still kicking outside, as if she was being held down by someone in the carriage and couldn't get out. However, the wheels of the carriage were already turning as if they couldn't wait, and they quickly turned around and left in front of the big house. .

Everyone in the room who saw this scene fell silent.

Something unexpected has happened!

Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and jumped out of the window without anyone noticing. When she landed on the ground, the weight of her body made her feet numb. However, before the dust that was stirred up could settle, her figure had already run a long way away and clung to the carriage.

Unsure of what was going on, she did not let go of her speed to catch up, but just stayed behind to observe the situation.

Fortunately, for a country that can bring out all the girls in the country to try on shoes, its territory is not very large - after running like this for dozens of minutes, the palace arrived.

For Lin Sanjiu, such a small palace was like a no-man's land. It only took her twenty minutes to find Cinderella in a very elegantly decorated room.

Her face was pale and full of tears. She didn't even feel strange when she saw Lin Sanjiu——

"...The prince who danced with me is not the same person just now." She whimpered. r1152
